“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

B.C. Forbes

I agree with this quote because being honest is very important. When you are honest you are being true to yourself and true to others. Honesty is very important because you learn to be fair with others and you learn not to cheat. It’s important because it is just the rule of life in my opinion. When people aren’t honest they are just being liars and you really want to be friends with someone who is a liar you might never know when that person can lie to you, when people lie people get hurt and you also hurt yourself because we should never be cheaters we should learn to always tell the truth no matter what that is what makes you a good person by being honest. When you are honest people believe you and it feels good to be honest about things. Honesty can get you to many places it can get you to your goals you just have to learn to be honest it isn’t hard just do what you know your heart feels is right.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

Phil Jackson

I love this quote because it says that you should never doubt yourself. In my opinion this quote means that you shouldn’t think about what is going to happen like if you’re going to win or not just think about that you are trying your best to do something. That is when we bring positive thinking because that is what helps you get through whatever it is you want to accomplish in life. Everyone can win you just have to learn to set your mind to it and also not have a negative attitude because when you think negative well things are just going to go bad for you that’s why we have to think positive about ourselves and think that we can do this even if it takes time we can all accomplish something that we want. Don’t stress yourself over things because if you think about it too much then something might go wrong we need to have patience within ourselves and I can guarantee you that it’s going to be ok.

Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time---- classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said “Wherever you are be there.”  Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

I agree with this quote because when you are honest you feel safe because you are being true to yourself and not lying or cheating about things. Because when you choose not to be true and just decide to lie your way out through life you are going to feel good about yourself no one does when you know you are doing bad you feel guilty inside. Of course no one wants to feel guilty about themselves. So when you are true to yourself you become a good person with positive thoughts and that will get you through life. But when you lie and cheat well you’re going to end up bad and broken inside. That is why we should always be true to ourselves and others around us because if we don’t we are just hurting ourselves.  Lying never solves anything it just brings problems.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning”

Claudius

I agree with this quote because when you are striving to achieve something and you accomplish it it’s because you worked really hard in getting that. You went to school every day did your work and at the end you achieved your goal. Well this is what the quote is saying when you do something it’s out of your own hands like you are the one that did it all by yourself by paying Attention. Like for example when you get your report card and you have all A’s and B’s you are the architect of your own learning because you are the one that accomplished to get those good grades by working hard. So each person is responsible for their learning we each make different choices whether it is to choose the right and be a good person and achieve in life or choose the wrong and be a bad person and not strive in life.  Finally, in order to build up your learning you have to be positive and work hard and fight for what you want.
